Things to keep in mind when applying a banana mask

Making a banana mask is a natural, safe, and benign beauty method. However, to achieve the desired effect of making your skin rosy, white, and smooth as desired, you need to be persistent and do it regularly. In addition, when implementing this method, you also need to pay attention to the following things:

• Choose mask ingredients carefully, do not contain preservatives or pesticides.
• You should try applying a small amount on your hand first to avoid an allergic reaction.
• Do not leave the mask on for too long because it will cause irritation or redness.
• You should not use a mask if your face has open wounds, is infected, or has red, swollen acne.
• Masks should only be applied at night, after cleansing the skin.
